Abstract:
Cloud computing is becoming increasingly more popular and telecommunications companies perceive the cloud as an alternative to their service deployment models, one that brings them new possibilities. But to ensure the successful use of this new model there are security and management challenges that still need to be faced. There are numerous threats and vulnerabilities that become more and more important as the use of the cloud increases, as well as concerns with stored data and its availability, confidentiality and integrity. This situation creates the need for monitoring tools and services, which provide a way for administrators to define and evaluate security metrics for their systems. In this paper, we propose a cloud computing security monitoring tool based on our previous works on both security and management for cloud computing.
